Phuket, Thailand : A man had committed suicide in a shooting range in Phuket, Thailand after turning an 11mm gun to his head. The Foreign office is currently investigating the case of what looks like an apparent suicide.

Liam Colven, 21  from the Isle of Skye, Scotland had gone to the range from his hotel, Bang Tao hotel. According to local reports, the man had called a taxi after an argument with a male friend and asked the taxi driver to take him to a range where he could shoot. While on the journey, Colven was heard arguing with someone at the other end of the phone.

The driver dropped the young man at Thalang range on Phuket, where he rented an 11mm gun and fired off 6 bullets off a magazine of 6 bullets at a target. He asked for 3 more bullets and shot himself at close range to the head.

The Foreign office could not confirm the reports, but said it is working with the Thai authorities to confirm whether a British national dies in Phuket.

In a 58secs video released by Liveleak, the man could be seen with a young man that looks like the instructor. He was watching closely as Colven fires first 6 bullet off the magazine, helped him to reload for his next shootout before the man turned the gun to his own head before anyone could stopped him.
